Purchases under the bid will be made through the facilities of the TSX and any alternative Canadian trading systems in compliance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The period of the normal course issuer bid will extend from January 21, 2020 to January 20, 2021, or an earlier date should Brookfield complete its purchases prior to such date. Brookfield will pay the market price at the time of acquisition for any Preferred Shares purchased, but not to exceed the redemption price thereof as stated in the company\u2019s articles. All Preferred Shares acquired by Brookfield under this bid will be cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>Brookfield has not repurchased any Preferred Shares in the past 12 months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There has been
